Why does it need a redesign?! plus if you consider this new design a facelift, what do you consider the original to 3G? that was only a slight tweak. 3GS to 4 is the only step that could be considered a redesign.
I never got why people considered the 3G to 3GS and 4 to 4S aren't worthwhile jumps, yes they held the same form factor, but they both featured major internal improvements. It seems people want a redesign for the sake of it looking different just so they can show off they have a new shiny phone....
.... Wth, may see new imacs. Why is there no imac love anywhere
Stock is low, bestbuy website has no 27" , apple.com had 4day global shipping slip, 400+ days, all components are out & its a popular mac .
May see retina on it is more like it, imac in june yes. Hi were Apple, log on into our store and see "new" icons on all macs but please buy outdated 2011 model for $$$$!
All signs and reports a few days/ last week said imac. Now one line in 9to5mac derailed that how? Adding another macbook line, no.

This is the first time I've specifically awaited a Keynote with this level of frenzied eagerness. I've been hanging on and hanging on for the new Macbook Pros for almost 6 months; but the mac-gasm is close at hand
There is nothing to complain about regarding this WWDC2012 - bring it on!

Well, i would prefer SSD in iMac as standard (or at least small SSD for system) then retina... retina as bonus option, SSD as standard, and I am fine
I think he's referring to 5 GB of free *file* storage, which iCloud does NOT offer. It offers 5 GB free for generic app data storage, but you can't put your own files there like you could with Dropbox, etc.
I think it's fine as is. Use iCloud for services, Dropbox for files. Besides, I have 25 GB free from Dropbox so it'll be hard to compete with that.
Apple Camera?

Both Apple and MR are American therefore they use US time. I'm in the UK and have no problem with that.
East Coast US is 5 hours behind the UK (6 behind mainland Europe) and West Coast is 8 behind the UK
This is actually good for us as it means that the Keynote is at 6pm UK time - just after I get home from work

False. If no imacs by wed am, then mega downer. Waited months for nothing
The redesign it is needed because people get tired of having the same phone for 2 years+ apple knows that(at least i hope it does) and so do all the other manufactures, the redesign also helps in what you put inside the phone in most cases, i am not saying it is right or wrong i just say this is the way things are.
As for the internal improvements i don't understand why something like this is mentioned, people sould know that internal improvements are a given you can't stay on top of your game with the same internals you had on the first iphone and continue having high sales,none can do that, the market is moving new hardware is coming out better cpu's,gpu's, better screens etc.
Time for lunch

Due to the design of iMac an components all running hot (within spec but hot) it would be a good engineering decision to use SSD's rather than HDD's to keep the roasty heat down inside there.
Only problem is, the extravagant pricing Apple changes for SSD storage.
Long term future yes, but Apple are not going to dump HDD's for main storage for a few years yet I'd imagine. Not on desktop machines anyway.
When have apple fans ever not been disappointed after an event? We love our software and the devices they run on but we are always left wanting just a little bit more from these events.
One possible route: Apple may improve its cameras on the iPhone so that it can be used as a pocket camera.
Not sure why you're getting dowin voted for this. The rumor mill always goes into overdrive and what's actually announced doesn't meet the high expectations and people are disappointed. Like you I think it's better to lower expectations and be pleasantly surprised if Apple exceeds them.
I hope iOS 6 is a huge update. & there's bound to be a few surprised with Mountain Lion - the features they've told us about via the video/website can't be the only new features. Not unless the OS is free.
As for a new iPhone - out of the question. It's been about 9 months since the 4S. Look at the buyers guide.
A new Apple TV set? I think this would warrant it's own event - like the iPad introduction did.
I can see them introducing new Macs though. If they used to have time for OS X, iOS and iPhone news, why not OS X, iOS and Mac news?

Pacific time, in this case, is local time at the event. It's not so much US-focused as it is WWDC-focused. As far as I know, MacRumors has always used local time when listing events like this. Most of them tend to be in California, so probably a good idea to learn where that is.
If MacRumors readers are confused, there's always the ticking countdown, and people can convert it to their own time zone accordingly.
It's so odd to me that people find these useful. If incorporated, I hope they are completely optional.
If you read what I am thinking of, it was that last years was two hours but it went over, it was supposed to be an hour and half as well.
Please see my the first quote in this post.
And how can you make such allegations when the system hasn't even been announced yet.

And that is exactly what is wrong with our society (well, one of the things..). If the phone, or any item for that matter, that you own does what you need it to then you should stick with it. This whole, keeping up with the Jones' thing is, unfortunately human nature, ridiculous.
Would you go any buy a new TV every year? HiFi, car, microwave.. it's just silly and doesn't make any sense.
In my opinion the current design is good and the software works very well. If anything they should leave it as it is and just update the battery.. I'd love a phone that could go a week or more.
You have deepest sympathies if that's the case - but we both know that they'll be Ivy-Bridging the Retina shizzle out of that USB 3.0 dizzzle
Hi all,
Personally I think that Apple will announce a "new iPhone", reasons for this;
If Apple are announcing iOS6, won't developers need to know dimensions of apps they will be designing.
Now I don't believe Apple would announce iOS6 and fail to mention the size of the screen with all the leaks of the new iPhone that we have been having.
So iOS6 gets announced and so will new iPhone, probable July release
